Default Barrel key ignition lock

When I first joined HDForums I posted a question related to swapping my Barrel Key ignition lock with a standard key. No feedback was received, perhaps I did not post it correctly or it truly drew no interest. I would like to change my barrel key because I use a key organizer which eliminates having to have a key ring and all my keys hanging or on separate key rings. A nifty invention from a fellow biker. Anyways! Can what I propose be done?

Since you only have 2 posts, both posting a link to a commercial product, (actually didn't find an earlier barrel key post?) people assume you are a Spammer. And since your "problem" would be solved a lot easier by adding a ring to the Keyport that adds your barrel key to it, instead of ripping up your ignition, I think they would be correct in assuming you are a Spammer.
If you really are sincere, you should stick around and make some posts before posting suspicious posts. Better yet get Keyport to be a sponsor.

Excellent point I did not think that adding a vendors link would draw suspicion. I was merely trying to show the reader my dilemma but now I clearly see how this misconception could be conceived. I certainly do not want to be seen/read as a Spammer! As for the recommending the vendor become a sponsor...I will ask. Again thanks for the enlightenment
